Election 2012 Post Mortem: White Evangelicals and Support for Romney – Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life

American demographics and the urban vs. rural, North vs. South, and “White vs. other” dichotomies continue to paralyze an American political system that must transform its ways of raising resources and allocating them in the interests of an increasingly “non-White” society. What does the new America look like? How will it lead? What does the future of a diverse America look like? Does this re-election of an African American president mean that America has turned the “Real Americans vs. the rest” stultifying dichotomous past?

Religiously, the American landscape continues to get decided and the so called “rightwing” media continues to cement the rightwing, mostly White, mostly suburban and rural coalition. The Pew Foundation continues to shed light on these developments as it reports on religious demographics and trends…

“There was considerable speculation during the 2012 primaries about the strength of support for Mitt Romney among white evangelical Protestants. A Pew Research Center analysis of exit poll data finds that white evangelical Protestants voted for Romney with as much enthusiasm as his other supporters did. In addition, white evangelical Protestants voted as heavily for Romney as they did for the GOP candidates in 2008 and 2004, and they made up about the same share of the electorate as they did in the two previous elections.”
